I'm guessing that most of you don't think much of Detroit, but I'm from the Ann Arbor-area, I'm going to go to the University of Michigan, I've got all of my family and friends in the area, I've got all my sports teams in the area (lol), I love the city of Detroit - and I want to live and work there...and I'd also like to make as lucrative a living as I can there.

I've done a lot of research on hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, investment banking, consulting, and investment management...so, I know a little bit about how much the top execs in those fields make, about their career paths, and about their job responsibilities. But, I still don't know enough about what's available in the Detroit-area, and how salaries there compare to more popular financial hubs (NY, CHI, SF, etc.). I do know that McKinsey's got an office in Detroit, and that Ann Arbor's got a couple of good venture capital firms, but that's about it (I don't come from a 'finance/law/corporate-family,' obviously).

So...here's my question: What are some of the top paying financial jobs (/financial firms) in the greater metro Detroit-area? And how do their salaries compare to other top fields in the area...lawyers, doctors, corporate execs, etc...?

Thanks a ton for any help guys!

Best,

Brady

Little background info - I'm still just a high school senior, I've got a wide-range of interests, and I've got - what I believe to be - a wide range of skills and talents as well. So, I'm still pretty open in terms of career choices. I think that I'm going to start off at the UofM with the intentions of getting into the undergraduate business program (BBA degree). I could probably get into a good MBA program (after getting some work experience) or law school if I did well in that program. I might even hedge my bets a little bit and take some pre-med courses in my first year.

alright, i'm gonna go ahead and put an end to this shit right now...

Detroit is a wonderful and unique place. No where else in the world will you see hot shot executives, local celebrities and regular old construction workers (or whatever) sitting at the same table, and eating the same $2 coney dogs. It's the most laid-back city in the world. It's got big companies, monster buildings, pro teams in all the major sports (along with great, great fans), art galleries, museums, bars, clubs, etc...and no traffic (on the roads or on the sidewalks). There's a relatively thin ring of (very) poor neighborhoods that circles the city - where ignorance and crime exist, but inside of that circle we've got a great city, and outside of that circle we've got some of america's greatest suburbs (there's an annoying group of bums that gather around the stadiums for games...and that's scary to some...but they're harmless). And yes, we've had a long, long, long string of bad political leadership here...and stupid voters...but I think that's sort of on the rebound now. Regardless, it's the perfect city for a certain kind of person. I'd suggest that you actually spend a significant amount of time in the city before talking shit about it (or at least get your information from someone that's actually spent a significant amount of time in the city).

The city is doing a great job of putting an end to itself without your help thanks.

I do respect that you defend your hometown though. Props.

I've been there, I'm not scared of Detroit, get over yourself.

Real answer: There are boutiques in Detroit just like any other city. There also consulting firms that have offices out of Detroit (BCG included if memory serves). There are a few threads where people have posted lists of boutiques by city and region. Those would be a good place to start.

I am sorry Duke didn't recruit you out of undergrad Mr. Rose.

illini - comerica's just a commercial bank isn't it? salaries can't be that high, can they? i realize that i could become ceo of the bank and make millions...or maybe ceo of ford. but i also realize that i could win the mega millions lotto. we're talking about very small percentages there.

happy - how do boutique salaries generally compare across fields? is it the same as major shops (with HF, PE, VC, IB being at the top)? are certain fields more lucrative in certain regions (like, auto consultants perhaps making more than private equity heads in D-Town)?

Im sure there is some corrupt union (as if there was any other kind) gig that pays well.

Or perhaps a local credit union has an affirmative action program for white people.

Seriously, you're already off to a bad start by starting your search with "highest paying" as criteria 1, though that puts you in good company with the other youngins on here. Find something you want to do, then worry about what it pays. Frankly, you don't know shit at 18 (and neither did I...or 22 for that matter)....nor should you. Have fun, do well in school, find something that interests you...there is PLENTY of time to worry about a career.

There's a PE shop in Birmingham called Valstone Partners that recruits for internships all the time at Ross, I interviewed with them once. You might want to reach out to them prior to your sophomore summer and ask if you can help.
As far as pay goes, I couldn't give you an accurate figure.

Cartwright - I appreciate, and agree with that advice. I suppose that I should have been more clear in the original post. I'm really talking more about places I'd like to intern at over the summers...as opposed to long-term career choices...at this point. I figured I'd start with some of the higher-paying options. See if I like them first, lol.

SAC - Thanks for the source. What do PE shops in the metro detroit area do, for the most part? Buy small auto manufacturing companies? I guess that there are also some pharmaceutical and bio-tech (and maybe even some alternative energy) companies in Ann Arbor. And come on...no idea how their salaries compare to other jobs in the area? I should've mentioned that I'm cool with very, very broad estimates.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Company recognizes that you are concerned about privacy. We are committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our sites.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
